Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (50g)
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (3g) pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and mahogany-colored bits form at the bottom and it smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately and whisk the pumpkin puree directly into the hot butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown butter and pumpkin mixture with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat with a mixer or whisk until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat for another minute until the batter is glossy and slightly lightened in color.
- Sift in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
